Comment On crack? Nah -- he just loves his little girl. (Score 2, Informative) 510
Timothy speculates the marketeer who came up with the name "Shoshkele" was on crack, no doubt. Maybe, but here's another angle.
It's a Yiddishism, a familiar, affectionate or endearing variation of Shoshi or Shoshanah, which is Hebrew for Lily or Rose. It's a pet-name you might use for a sweetheart or, more likely, a very young daughter. Her dad may be clever and proud of his accomplishment, but I feel sorry for the little girl whose name was lent to something so obnoxious. Not exactly a very nice tribute.
